Phys.org / Dragonfly and damselfly migrations crisscross planet, with 100 species confirmed
Migration flights of dragonflies and damselflies crisscross much of our planet, new research reveals. Scientists from the universities of Exeter and Lund reviewed global evidence and found 100 dragonfly and damselfly species ...
Science X / Will Earth truly cool down after net-zero, or are we locked into millennia of Anthropocene heat?
We imagine that if global emissions are reduced, the problem will sort itself out. It actually takes much more time than we can imagine—sometimes hundreds or even thousands of years. We have entered a very crucial stage called ...
Tech Xplore / Monolayer WSe₂ unlocks high-performance p-type transistors that could change how future chips balance speed and power
Transistors, small devices that can amplify or switch electrical signals, are central components of all modern computer chips and digital devices. There are two main types of transistors, known as n-type and p-type transistors.
Phys.org / First global map of mycorrhizal fungi reveals true scale of underground networks across the planet
Mycorrhizal fungi form underground networks that sustain plant life and help regulate Earth's climate by drawing carbon into soils. In a study published in Science, an international team of researchers produced the first ...
Phys.org / The Ghosts of the Mediterranean: What a rare great white shark sighting could reveal about a changing ocean
Headlines were made this week when scuba divers removing abandoned ghost nets from a shipwreck between Tunisia and Sicily filmed an adult great white shark. The footage quickly made global news, yet the real story is not ...
Phys.org / Rare deep-sea goblin sharks filmed in natural habitat for first time
The first published live observations of the rare goblin shark (Mitsukurina owstoni) in its natural deep-ocean habitat were reported in a new paper by a University of Hawai'i at Mānoa-led team of oceanographers. In the past, ...
Phys.org / Satellite data reveal Southern Ocean vertical currents diving 3,000 feet below surface
Ocean currents are not just horizontal motions that flow from side to side. There are also vertical currents that act like deep-sea elevators, pushing heat and carbon down into the deep, while bringing up vital nutrients ...
Tech Xplore / New strategy enhances oxygen reduction in zinc-air batteries
Batteries are undergoing rapid advances. For example, modern zinc-air batteries have the remarkable ability to use oxygen as energy—but that oxygen isn't stored in the battery itself. Zinc-air batteries take in surrounding ...
Medical Xpress / Endocrine-disrupting chemicals found in breast milk and infant urine up to age 6 months
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that interfere with hormones were found in breast milk and in the urine of children from birth up to 6 months, according to a study presented at ENDO 2026, the Endocrine Society's annual ...
Phys.org / Could leaves help feed humanity after disaster?
UC researchers are investigating whether leaf protein and sugar extracted from plant fiber could help sustain people if major global shocks disrupt food production. Te Whare Wānanga o Waitaha | University of Canterbury (UC) ...
Phys.org / 'Selection shadow' may explain why longer lives bring more age-related disease
A review article now published in Nature Reviews Genetics brings together evolutionary theory, comparative genomics and large-scale human genetics to explain why we age and why aging rates differ among individuals and species. ...
Phys.org / Climate change is causing fish to move to cooler water—what if their escape route is blocked?
Around the world, ocean warming is causing fish to move poleward in search of cooler water.
